Yet another wonderful day is upon us! Yes so jovial I sound but alas the womanly issues are slowly making way towards me, raking havoc on all of my being. [Pause for a scream]
I feel bloated, sore, a headache coming on and a mood guaranteed to freeze any smile cast my way. With all the symptoms of a foul day ahead - I head out to work and arrive an hour later than I usually do - thanks to one golf tournament that dares presents itself right on my path of travel.

Despite enticing smells of bacon, sausage and frying eggs, I stick to my daily breakfast of yogurt, bowl of fruit and a cup of tea. As I was savoring my breakfast, I caught a whiff of bacon and kidding aside it made me gag [not quite…but close].

 
Lunch
By 11 am I was dreaming of hot soup and hot bread. Especially since the mid-west weather is so unbelievably unpredictable, yesterday it was 80 degrees and muggy, today we are barely making 60 degrees and talk about chilly..brr. So at 11:15 am I headed out to grab some chicken noodle soup and a piece of whole grain baguette. It was totally worth the walk to my car!

I felt satisfied but remained bloated, moody and just downright scary(even to myself).

Dinner
I felt hungry again when I got home at 5 pm so I had some chicken and lentil stew. Since the re-discovered of the crock pot, our house has become quite the kitchen experiment lab. A day prior we put some chicken, lentils, carrots, onions, garlic, black pepper and paprika in the crock pot. What a treat ! One that will sure fill us for the next couple of days that’s for sure. I froze some of the broth to garnish other dishes for us at some other time.

Observation
- PMS makes eating clean a tard bit of a drag.
